TIGERGRAPH: GRAPH FOR ALL MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE FINALISTS REVEALED

KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 (Bernama) -- TigerGraph, provider of a leading graph analytics platform, has revealed the Graph for All Million Dollar Challenge finalists — a group of innovative projects that offer transformational ways to address social, economic, health, and climate-related issues that affect us all.

Launched in February, the challenge is a global search for innovative ways to harness the power of graph technology with machine learning and AI to solve real-world problems. The competition attracted more than 1,500 registrations from 100+ countries.

Founder and CEO of TigerGraph, Dr Yu Xu said in a statement: “TigerGraph has always recognised graph’s potential to change the world, and we put our claim to the test by creating the Graph for All Million Dollar Challenge.

“The overall participation as well as the quality of submitted projects totally exceeded our expectations. There’s no denying that graph is the technology of the future — and these projects underscore graph’s ability to literally change the world.”

After an extensive review of nearly 150 qualified submissions, judges narrowed it down to the most innovative and world-changing solutions. Participants represent a wide range of backgrounds including data scientists, all types of developers, product managers and designers.

A few standout submissions include TigerGraph for United Nations (UN) Data - Connect the unconnected! Source, clean and load UN data for the environment, the economy, health, refugees, crops, and more into a single graph and make it available for anyone to use.

Fact-Checker: Fighting Misinformation at Scale - Misinformation is everywhere, in social media, websites, and even face-to-face. It’s hard to know what to believe, and even harder to figure out what’s true. This solution is a multi-platform, multi-lingual, real-time fact-checking system powered by machine learning and graph technology.

Also included is ShockNet - Prevent crises by predicting the transfer of shocks through the world economy. Users can adjust assumptions, investigate the predicted chains of shocks, and identify ways to avoid economic crisis.

The 15 winners and recipients of the US$1 million in prizes will be announced and showcased at Graph + AI Summit, the industry’s only open conference focused on accelerating analytics, AI, and machine learning with graph algorithms. (US$1 = RM4.363)

The virtual event, taking place May 24-26, will include speakers from the world’s most innovative organisations and feature keynotes from industry visionaries as well as breakout sessions, use cases, and panels led by data, analytics, and AI professionals.
